I have money!! 我有钱嘛!!

In my business, I meet many wealthy clients, some so filthy rich, they can pay cash deposit of US$300,000 or snapped up a S$3.2 million 99-year apartment without batting an eyelid. I really got a shock when I realised that I had walked around Raffles Place with him carrying a suitcase of cash! Many of these rich are humble and nice people, but I tend to get a few rich snobs who think they own the world.

I'm not one who would fawn over the rich or powerful. I really don't care. These people seek my services because they know I'm the best. I don't conceal anything from them, everything is in black and white. I don't mince my words, I'm a blardy frank person. Take it or leave it.

The rich snobs have been pampered almost everywhere. Every one seems to be at their beck and call! In their countries, if they need to renew any license or permit, they get civil servants to go to their house to do that for them! Personalised service. Wow! When they come here, they expected me to wait on them hands and knees. Fat hope.

They would say, "I have money!"

- when their kids couldn't get into Raffles Instituition or Hwa Chong (top schools in Singapore);- when the restaurant ran out of stock of their favourite fish that night;- when Singtel couldn't come fix their son's broadband in the middle of the night;- when they have to queue like the rest at Singapore Immigration to extend their Social Visit Pass;- when SAF didn't approve their son's NS deferment.

The rich snobs think money is omnipotent. Even their children started behaving like them after a while. Their eyes are right at the top of their foreheads.

There were a couple of times where these rich men came to make enquiry. After spending time explaining and showing them around, they started bargaining. I showed them the door. They came back some time later. I upped my fees by 25% because they wasted my time the first round. They have money. ^-^

U got money, so what!Money can buy love mer?Sometime I really 'petahan' those rich fellas especially those who inherit d money from parent, even are well educated, but their attitude are really XXXX , show off in term of girls, cars .... treat others like dog!!! come on men, if not because u got d $$$$, u have nothing! Money makes people loss!But, unfortunately we live in a money face world, and everyone want s to be 有钱人!

MonkeyWong,I have seen examples, Money can buy Love! Well, not exactly, but this rich boy and girl used money as bait to marry the person they like. Maybe they only got the body and not the heart, but they won. They broke up lovers and got their wish.

In this world is liddat, whoever has more money and power, he talks louder. Not happy, we can try to earn more money than him or be more powerful than him.

The haves will call the have-nots, losers. And should the losers make noise, the haves will tell them, "Get out of my elite, uncaring face!"

There are rich people who are humble and kind. They give generously to those who are less fortunate, and they choose to remain annoymous.

Yet there are the rich who would try to gain mileage or the most recognition from their miserly handouts.

What is not acceptable from these people is their mindset. They think that anyone who is not their equal are not worth their acquaintance. Then they proceed to deride or humiliate them. They justify their actions through their great wealth.
